It seems awesome. It's like they're combining all the winning aspects of the DS, Wii, and SNES and culling out the stupid bits like stick shaped controllers and over-emphasis on motion control.
Along with 1080p support and a controller that's actually a controller and not a gesture interpretation device, they've even announced a change in target demographic back to mainstream gaming. What more could I ask for?

Up-scaling on original Wii games. They would still not look as good as a 1080p WiiU game, but it would look a hell of a lot better than what they look like at 480p. Assuming Nintendo did as good of a job as Sony did with up-scaling PS2 games on the PS3. Skaw fucked around with this message on 06-16-2011 at 04:05 PM.

This. I have been awaiting a Maradon post on this since E3 ended. Was hoping to see something along the lines of, "Oh em gee, Nintendo glued two consoles together again and called it something new."
I am disappoint.

You can only use one of those new controllers per console
So player 2-4 are gonna be shafted
All that is far from finalized. The console itself streams the content to the controller, so advanced streaming to multiple controllers may not be feasible, but there's nothing to say that your party games can't just tone down the graphical output while retaining the touch as an input device. How much local multiplayer does the average gamer really engage in, anyway?
And the fact that the controllers have no brains makes me seriously doubt they'll be $400.
